𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗼 & 𝗧𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁𝘀 ⟶ https://www.bozar.be/en/calendar/viet-nam-truong-minh-quyNam and Viet love each other. Both are miners, working 1000 meters below ground where danger awaits and darkness prevails. Coal earns them a living, while polluting the land and the sea. Black sea. Black coal. Burnt coal. Wet coal. Dusty coal. When Nam decides to leave the country via an agent who smuggles people in shipping containers, it causes a rift between his love for Viet and the desires for his own future.
Trương Minh Quý was born in Buon Ma Thuot, a small city in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. His narratives and images, lying between documentary and fiction, draw on the landscape of his homeland, childhood memories, and the historical context of Vietnam. His films have been selected for international film festivals and exhibitions such as Locarno, New York, Rotterdam, Copenhagen and Busan. Viet and Nam premiered at the Festival de Cannes in Un Certain Regard.
